M 83, also known as The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, is located in the constellation Hydra, at a distance, from Earth, of 15,000,000 light-years. This galaxy is one of the brightest spiral galaxies, shining at a magnitude of 7.5 and contains thousands of star clusters, hundreds of supernova remnants, and a huge number of star forming emission nebulae, and very prominent dust lanes.
